Great. The more spottings and spotters we have the easier it will be to try to out names to unknown spottings.
Thanks travellingchez, yes it is so hard to find, I was just lucky :)
Thanks for the information about the mission, I've joined already and will discover more Indonesian arthropods, I ask my students to join also :)
What a great spot. I can imagine they are very hard to find.
Would you consider adding this to Arthropods of Indonesia mission. It's here if you are interested. http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/1773...

Hi GunawanMuhammad, it seems you enter the mimetic animals tag instead enter the Mimetic Animals mission, here's the link http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/8015...
Nice spotting, this is a Chorotypus grasshopper.
In Borneo, you could only get them from deep jungles.
I have only seen one before from Bako, Sarawak.
